Six Years Forward

As previously noted, one of Georgetown's most solemn traditions is a recent one. Tom Ecobacci (C'96) was one of the 3,000 who perished during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on this country. Today, not only do we pray for the victims, we also extend our prayers to those who protect us and those who have died protecting us in lands far away from home.

It is hard to believe it has been six years since the attacks. So much stands between that terrible day and now -- war, the loss of loved ones, the trials of life and death. Let us hope that such terror does not visit our shores again.
